Thread and Life update
Well… How do I start?
From the begining I guess. When I made this thread I had no idea I would become a reviewer. All I had was a collection, friends, a passion and a pair of ears. Fast forward a couple of months later, here we are. This thread turned into a small reflection of the comunity, which was the target all along.
To reach and help such comunity, I had to make choices that I couldn’t without any help. I had to start accepting loans, review samples and basicly: become a reviewer. My intention was never to get freebies, and those who talk to me behind the scenes know it. I’m the guy that will pay if he cans for something he could probably get some other way. But all that exposure got me to where I am today, doubling the experience and being able to give back the double.
Given that, I kept investing in better ways to help around. I gave away most of my gear for free, in private, including samples, so people can experience new stuff. I also invested in increasing the quality of my reviews and databases:
1. I bought a coupler, a soundcard and I made a squig database
PS: HUGE shoutout to Mark/SuperReviews for setting me up in no time and giving me the opportunity to use this platform! Make sure to check him out on his YouTube channel!
My database is still small, as I gave most away or I don’t have most of the stuff I’ve demoed to date with me anymore, but it will grow.
My target was also slightly tweaked to match better my coupler:
From now on I can basicly graph all my new stuff on the fly, especially IEMs that are still prototypes, without needing 3rd parties. I can also measure EQs, mods, tips or anything that needs to be done.
2. I bought some photograph gear
Well, I love taking nice pics of my gear. I finally invested in some lightning and a macro lens. I can finally do some cute stuff like this:
3. I edited some posts/the thread
When I made this thread, I had no idea of some of these forums limitations about edits. I had to ask help to @M0N , which I would like to publicly thank by the way. Some of my posts were misleading and out of date, so most were edited or removed. Basicly, a generic clean canvas.
Thread’s name was also updated to avoid misleading. All the rest is the same!
Now, to finish the update, I’d like to give you a small life update and why I went semi-rogue on the last 2 weeks.
Work got heavy, I basicly did no music time unless for first impressions. I literally had no time but comutes only. That ended up kinda well as I got a promotion (yey, more money for IEMs I guess… but also more responsability? -.-), and we’ll see from here.
I will now proceed to dump all the stuff I got noted, photographed and others over the last weeks. I had my Tea2 review done for 2 weeks and I couldn’t post it… I’m hoping Linsoul isn’t that mad : ’ )
I hope everyone is doing great, listening to music, in good health and f*** Put*n.
With love,
nymz, the reviewer
